“BBM” is now a real word, according to the Collins English Dictionary

Word nerds, take note: ”BBM,” the abbreviation, noun and verb encompassing every facet of BlackBerry Messenger, is officially part of the English lexicon. Anyone who forgets how to spell it can now find the word in the Collins English Dictionary, in between BBL and BBQ (quite a nice spot, we’d say). That’s a happy bit of news for Research in Motion, but we can’t help thinking that Collins’s timing is a little odd—considering RIM’s future is looking bleaker and bleaker, the word may go out of use before too long.
